This print, created after 1736 by Cornelis van Jagen, depicts the coats of arms of the members of the city council of Haarlem, Netherlands, from 1618. It features a grid of over one hundred heraldic shields, each representing a different council member. The image showcases the visual language of heraldry, a system of symbols used to represent family lineage and status. The detailed depictions of these coats of arms provide a glimpse into the historical and social structure of Haarlem during the 17th century. This artwork is a valuable document for historical research and offers a unique perspective on the visual culture of the Dutch Golden Age.
